LA f
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 21, 2001
SUBJECT: INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH IRVING, EULESS AND
COPPELL ESTABLISHING THE DFW AIRPORT BOARD EX -
OFFICIO MEMBERSHIP ROTATION
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Manager recommends that the City Council approve the attached interlocal
agreement with Irving, Euless and Coppell which establishes the rotation for the shared
ex -officio position on the DFW Airport Board.
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill 569, as adopted, provides an ex -officio member to the DFW Airport Board to
be shared by the four host cities. The rotation was determined by a drawing of lots with
Irving serving from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002. Irving's appointee to
the position is Council Member Terry Waldrum. The following term will be served by
Grapevine's appointee, followed by Euless and then Coppell. At the end of each four-
year period the rotation schedule will be repeated. Grapevine Council Member Darlene
Freed was appointed as the Council's liaison to the Airport Board in June, 2001.
The agreement requires the representative to communicate with the other three cities on
a monthly basis and to that end, Irving Council Member Terry Waldrum has already
scheduled the initial meeting of the host cities for the month of August.
Irving has already approved the interlocal agreement. Euless and Coppell have both
placed it on their agendas and it is expected that all four cities will have approved the
agreement prior to the next Airport Board meeting on September 6, 2001.
City Manager recommends approval.
